Description

In this video tutorial the DVE functionality of Swift is explored by the creation of a squeezeback template. These templates are one of the typical mechanisms used in automation for channel branding and promotion of upcoming programmes in a schedule. Squeezebacks generally occur at the end of programmes when the end credits roll. The duration of squeezes vary between 10” and 30”. The duration of these promotional mechanisms is normally set with the scheduler.
